I knew that something would get in the way of my training.
Lets take the hardships of this week. I have been running and biking this week. I ran on Monday for two mile on the treadmill with Sherrie and Sherry. It felt ok. I still can't get over not going anywhere. Sherrie and Sherry were going to run a race on Sunday....The weather was not to be good, so I was thinking about them.
Thursday, I took Trac's beginning cycle class (I should not have stopped cycle class when I was running, because boy does my butt hurt!!!!!) It was a great class, but then I decided that I was going to run on the treadmill. I ran about 1.75 miles and I knew that I had to stop. As soon as I pushed the cool down button, Randy one of the trainers (I learned his name from Trac afterwards) came over and steps on the treadmill next to me. He looks me right in the face and says "Can you talk to me?" I did not want to laugh in his face, because he was only doing his job. I smiled at him and told him that I was ok, I realized that I did too much and I just hit the cool down button. I told him thank you for checking on me. He told me that my face was all red and he just want to make sure that I was ok. I was afraid to tell him that me face is usually red, but I told him thank you again and that I was ok. After when I was on the bike for a cool down and waiting to say goodbye to Trac. Randy came over to talk to me. See, you do meet good people when exercising. He knew some of the same car racing people that I knew and we talked about Dirt Week. All the trainers at the Y are friendly and really do care about you.
On Saturday, in the rain, with Trac's class, I ran about 30 minutes. That was fine with me because I was going to take Open cycle after that. It was a really good run and Trac kept the gals and me motivated!!! After that I changed into some dry clothes and rode with Mike for about 45 minutes. I only did two hills. Like I said before it was only my third time on the bike since I "graduated" from Trac's class last spring, so again, my butt was sore.
Then on Sunday, Sherrie and Sherry ran in the Halloween Race. It was soooooo cold and soooo windy. But they had great times for the conditions, with TWO big hills!!!! I was so proud of them for even doing the race in that weather and they should be proud too!!!!!
While they were racing, my mini-van was over heating. I might have ruin the engine because I was afraid to stop on the busy road that I was on. I had Andy in the car and I did not want the car to get hit with him in there. Ron said that he would have done the same thing if the kids were in the car. The car was towed today and we just have to wait to see what they tell us is wrong.
So because of my car, I was not able to run tonight. Tomorrow is Halloween and we have to go Trick or Treating!!! Wednesday night is Parent/Teacher Meeting. Maybe I will be able to run on Thursday.....If not, then I'll just have to wait until Saturday. It is not like I haven't done that before.
I have entered in the Jingle Bell Run on Nov. 19th. Sherrie said that we should start a team where they pool all the money. She came up with the name "The Other Greyhounds". I loved it. We know that we can't replace Trac's and Bridget Greyhounds, but boy we do like to run like them with the help of Trac and Bridget. So If anyone would like to donate or be on "The Other greyhound" Team, just go to http://jinglebellrunsyracuse2006.kintera.org to sign up

I DID IT!!!!
Saturday was great!!!!! I took Trac's advice and did my race....Did not worry about anything!!! It started on Friday night. Me and the kids drove to my mother's house in Burnt Hills...Where the race was going to be. Teresa was already there and said she had a present for me. It was my bike for the Tri!!!! It is a 18 speed alum bike. It is much better than the bike that I already have....It is really not a real tour bike but she is thinking about me and knows that the bike that I had would not do!!!
My mom got us spaghetti dinners at a local restraunt that we always went to when we were kids. Then we did 80's Music Trivia that I got at work from one of the guys at work. We had such a great time with that we just laughed and laughed. After that we tried to get to sleep....For me it was nerves...For Te, it was the kids. She is not use to the talking, coughing, and movement that my kids do. They are sleeping when they do this, but for somebody who is not use to it....It can be hard.
Saturday morn, I treated it just like a normal Saturday run, except I was with Teresa not Sherrie. We got to the Middle School were the race was being held and registered. We got there about 45 minutes before the race....So we stretched and walked around the Middle school waiting for the race to start. It was so weird being in the school, it seemed a lot bigger when I went there. We then talked to the history teacher that we had when we went there. He actually remembered us!!! I think that got rid of a lot of the nerves that I had.
At 9am the Race started.....The shut down the 2nd busiest road in Burnt Hills, shot off the gun and off we went. We started off at a good speed towards the back of the pack....I was there to finish...Like Trac said "This is my race". About .25 miles, My kids and My parents were sitting in the driveway with cameras and signs cheering us on!!!! What a way to start a race!!!
We got to the first mile marker and the person yells out the time of 10:35!!! I was surprised!! But this time it did not bother me like in the first race....We met up with someone who was running alone and started talking when we could. That really killed some time, actually one whole mile!!!
They did not call out any times at mile 2, but that is ok!!! I looked at my watch and we were still going at a good speed at point, 22:30. The lady that was with us started running faster and the father daughter team that was just behind us the whole time, passed us. That was ok with me and Te. But I made her promise that she would run faster and get a good time this time...This was her race also and she did not have to be with me when I crossed the finish. If she could run faster, she was to. I promised her that I would not stop running and that I would finish the race.
We got to the hill that we though would be so tough......Just like before things look a lot bigger when you are little!!! We got up that "hill" and was heading for the last turn!!! After telling Te one more time that I would not stop running (Why would I!!! I ran that far!!) She took off. She runs so effortlessly but did what she had to do. I could see her the whole time and she looked great!!! And I kept on running, not fast but never stopped!!! There was one lady that passed me at mile 3 and said to me "don't stop now you been ahead of me for 30 minutes you can do it" That and thinking of Te already there gave me that little extra push.
I got to the finish line and they yelled out my time....All I heard was 33 minutes....I did not get the rest because I was so surprised with 33....I had my PR!!!! I won't know what it is until they post it on BH-BL Rotary web site next week. A middle school kid put a sticker with my time on my bib where they rip it off and all I saw was 33...Still missed the seconds. Then I saw my kids, my parents and Te yelling at me and telling me how well I did. Andy and Brian gave me a big hug once I got out of the "gate". Andy told me how proud he was of me. Te came over and we hugged. The first lady, the father/daughter team, and the second lady all came over to me and we gave each other high fives. We did it.....I did it.
We did have some "funny" moments at this race. Burnt Hills is a small suburb and they only have one ambulance. During the race it had to go out on a call. Te crossed the finished line and was in the gate and my mom was in a panic...She started yelling at Te "Where's Sue? What happened?" No "good job". No "good going". My mother thought that the Ambulance was for me. Te then went to her "Do you think that I would finish the race if Sue was hurt?" "She is coming" I came about a minute later, but I was there. That tells you how clumsy I was when I was a child that my mother would think that the ambulance would be for me!!!
Then when I finished the race, my mother told me how good that I looked. "Not like the first race Susan. You did look like you were dyeing this time." My mom knows how to give the complements!!!!
This race gives me motivation to run more!!!! I can do it!! Sometimes it might be hard. Sometimes it might be easy. No matter what, I CAN DO IT!!!

Friends!!!!
I ran on Monday with Trac and Melissa who is in the 8 week class of the Yrun. First I ran the outer of the inner loop by myself. I waited for Sherrie and she did not show up....Something felt strange, but Brian was sick and I left work early so I pushed the strange though away thinking that Sherrie had to do something with the girls and I would e-mail her tomorrow.
It was a good run....I ran for a total of 24 minutes which is a little more that what we do for two miles....I was looking for time not distance because of the race this weekend. So I ran the outer loop and the loop that the Yrun normally does twice. I felt great!!!
When we finished, I saw Rich (Sherrie's Husband). He told me that on Saturday that when he got home the ambulance was at the house. Sherrie had chest pains!!!! My heart sunk right then and there!!!! She is a great friend and has done a lot for me!!!! He said that they think it might be gastric or part of the valve problem that she knows about. That they put her on rest....I'm going to call her once I finish this. Rich though that maybe she would be at work today....But of course I was not at work.....Brian was still sick and I stayed home with him. I could not send him to school with the cough...Even though he would not spread any germs.
Friends are special!!! They help me get through this and I want to be there for them!!!!

I KNOW.....I KNOW
I know that I have not written.....But I have been running. On Saturday the 7th, I think, Sherrie and I ran 3.4 Miles in 39 minutes!!!! I have broken the 40 minute mark, but don't get too excited.
On Monday the 9th, Sherrie and I ran again.....But it was really, really dark....So we ran the inner outer loop (like that description) which is .9 mile in the development across the street from the "Y"....We ran that twice. That means we ran up the "hill" twice....The second time it hurt but we kept at it and we finished. I don't remember the time because I forgot to really stop my watch and I did not turn on the light!!!
Thursday I ran 2.5 miles after the rain storm......It was cold and windy. I did it at my house....So that means going up one hill on the way out and going up two hills on the way back. I did do a negative split 17:03 for the first 1.25 and 16:33 on the way back. That is with the two hills. Ron was teasing me and said the wind was so strong that it pushed me. I think it was cold and the wind was nasty that I just wanted to get home.
Saturday was a different story all together!!!! It was COLD and the wind was blowing hard....At least it was not raining!!!! Sherrie was there with me and we started the run in good fashion. We did the smaller loop in a good time...Around 11 minutes. Then there was the hill. I don't know what happened....Was it the wind....Was it that it was cold....For me the hill was AWFUL!!! I just put my head down and took small steps...Saying out loud "just keep going". I sounded like "Dory" the fish from "Finding Nemo".....Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming....But that what help me...Along with having Sherrie right there for me!!!! From in front of the Y to the top of the hill took us 10 minutes......It was the hardest 10 minutes of my running career.....Ok maybe mile 2.5 of my first race when I told Teresa that I was going the puke and she told me "NO....You are going to keep running because nobody wants to see you puke" was the hardest of my career but this is almost there.
But like the troopers that we are....Ok for me, what I want to be.....We kept on going. We ran down Buckley towards Wetzel Road. I just kept on saying what I felt and Sherrie would say I was thinking that too!!! I truly believe that it helps me to have someone there for me!!!! But on this day, my feet felt like lead and I was just prodding along and for some reason the shock from my feet was going right up to my butt, to make that hurt. I finally went to Sherrie....Can we stop at the Clay Town Park Sign and she said Yes!!! So we stopped there. We ran about 35 minutes.....That is ok, at that time I was ready to stop.
But then I went to see Trac and show her my new cycling shoes that I got from e-bay. Trac said that they were in good shape, but I would need new clips....Hey that is great news!!!! I did not know what I had, so spending about $5 - $10 is ok for me. On Tuesday on the way home...I'll stop at the Bikery if they are open...I tried to go to the Bike Loft on Saturday, but I must have just missed them.
So then I run with Trac's class and did good. Nothing really hurt afterwards, but I felt really good on the inside. I ran with my friend Tina....She thinks that she is having an awful time, but she is doing great!!!! She has accomplished a lot more in a shorter time.....I don't think that I could have taken the 8 week class... Thank God for the 12 week class. But she needed someone there with her....Just like Trac was there for me telling me stories when I was in the back of the pack for most of the classes. Just like Sherrie is for every run that we do...Taking swimming and maybe cycling class with me helping me train for the Tri. Just like Teresa, running with me side by side for my first race, calling me every weekend to see what I did that Saturday morning and buying/giving me a road bike for my first Tri.
They are there for me, and there is no way that I could ever repay them.....So I'm going to spread some of that to Tina!!! I will be there for her first race and I will run next to her....It is not about my time...It is about finishing the race and being a friend, isn't it?

Ok shoot me!!!
Ok.....I have gone on and on about my running and how I want to work out. Well, I only worked out Monday 10/2. And it was sort of my doing. I ran with Bridget, Sherrie, Toni and her friend (I think her name is Sue also). It was a great run!!! Bridget is great to run with....She keeps you motivated. I ran without my mp3 player and I think I did very well!!!! We did two miles in 22.21.20 - (yes I still have the information on my watch) and the last mile we did in 11.07.13. I kind of petered out at the end. I still have to work on saving more for the end. I know that it will come to me, I just have to wait.
Now the bad part. I have not worked out since and I seem to be ok with it. I will be running on Saturday. Ron is going to drop me off (we are still meeting at the Y right?) and taking the kids to his parents house for the weekend. But listed to this......He offered to drop me off!!!! We are getting some where with him!!! But he also has me working on the Race car this weekend if we make the show today....6 of one 1/2 dozen of another. Thanks to Sherrie, she will be dropping me off at the fairgrounds so Ron does not have to go out of his way to pick me up (that's the least that I can do, right?)
But I also have some other bad news... I can't do the Bruegger's Run!!! Since I'm doing the BH-BL Apple Run the week before, Andy will miss religion class. The Bruegger's run is on Sunday, I thought it was on Saturday....I can't have Andy miss another class because of my running. He is going to make his first communion...He needs to be there for the classes. If you think I have a hard time with Ron about running, you should see us about him going to church. Actually I know how he feels and I just don't even go there...He knows that the kids need something and lets me take them, but I only ask him to go to church if there is a wedding, a death, or something going on with his own kids. Other than that, I just let him do what he wants on Sunday mornings.
I got to go. I have to take Brian on a Field trip with his pre-k to the apple orchard. Every five minutes he asks me if it is time to go, now it is almost time. Will see everybody tomorrow!!!

A NEW DAY!!!!
I think I did very well on Saturday. I would like to think that I'm building up my endurance. I want to prove to myself that I can do two/three things right after another. Isn't that what a tri is?
Well, Sherrie and I ran 3.4 miles in 41:42 minutes. We took it nice and slow. I wanted to make sure that I could run the whole time. Especially after I did not run on Wednesday or Thursday, I need to prove to myself that I could. Sherrie and I chatted the whole time talking about our boys and then we were done. It really did not feel like we ran that long!!!! After we were done, and said that we will meet on Monday (I promise I will show up. I have to the boys have swimming) I went in the Y and then asked Tracy if I could run with her class.
I really had a good time in Trac's class. The group is great!!! She does have some strong runners!!! And they were asking me questions about running and the class!! Of course I told them my experiences and I did not sugar coat them, but I guess I was a little set back that people were asking "me" questions. I'm the back of the pack kind of person and don't look like a typical runner. Yah I can run six minutes straight, but when I did it for the first time.....It was hard!!! But I told them....If they keep up with the training and listen to Tracy's knowledge and wisdom, they will accomplish what they set out to do, run the 3.1 miles. But they are a active group and they will do great in their first race!!!
Speaking of Trac....Thanks for your advice. I have talked to Ron and of course, I will not be able to go on Wednesdays.......But Thursdays work just as well, until I can get the Kids into a Saturday swimming class. Then on Mondays, I will be able to take the adult swimming class - if they let me in or do the Master's Swim - if they let me in (I don't know the requirements of Master's Swim, but you know that I will find out). Then it will be Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, still giving me some rest time inbetween.
This will also give some one on one time for Ron and Andy, and some one on one time for Brian and I. It seems like we either have no boys or both boys. This way we can give each child the attention that they deserve. And maybe understand that Ron and I love them no matter what they do or we do!!!! Now, if I could just get Andy to run with me. Brian wants to run, but his legs are just to short.........But he will get there some day!!!!

Then on Mondays, I will be able to take the adult swimming class - if they let me in or do the Master's Swim - if they let me in (I don't know the requirements of Master's Swim, but you know that I will find out). Then it will be Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, still giving me some rest time inbetween.
This will also give some one on one time for Ron and Andy, and some one on one time for Brian and I. It seems like we either have no boys or both boys. This way we can give each child the attention that they deserve. And maybe understand that Ron and I love them no matter what they do or we do!!!! Now, if I could just get Andy to run with me. Brian wants to run, but his legs are just to short.........But he will get there some day!!!!
